It is very common for people to make the mistake of putting effort in designing their CV(Curriculum Vitae) and their online profiles without preparing thoroughly for the interview. Although, it is always good to make ones resume look attractive, but you should never make the mistake of not preparing.
Without the necessary preparation, you might end up forgetting one thing or the other and this may cause your rank to reduce.
This does not mean that your Profile should not look attractive, but employers also want to know what your personality is like. Not only do they want to know if you are capable of doing the job, but also that you will bring more than your counterparts.
After everything has been done right, these things might cost you not landing the Job. You must avoid them at all cost.
Here are some of the things to do to avoid a bad interview
1. Don't get there too early or late
When going for a job interview, find out about the transportation system along the road to prevent you from being late.
However, it is essential that you ensure that you are not too early. If you do, you might be seen as desperate and this might put them in an uncomfortable position as they might not like keeping you waiting. Calculate the time to reach the just a few minutes before time.
2. Don't look uninterested
Whenever you go for a job interview, whether you don't like the job or not, don't give the interviewer such impression. Employers always like workers who are happy about what they are doing. Even if you didn't get the job, they might be willing to help you in case of any other job opening.
3. Don't divert the interviewer's attention
Wearing sexually appealing clothes or strong perfumes or any form of distraction might create a negative impression on you.
4. Study your resume
Even though you wrote the resume yourself, you should go through it. It won't augur well if you are asked anything in there and you look surprised as if you don't know what is being talked about.
5. Do a research about the organization
Before going for an interview, try to do a little research about the organization because interviewers have their way of knowing and this will show them that you are really prepared and interested.
